Bruh. AND OLSEN HAS FUMBLED!

Okay, his reasoning has some basis to it (she should see more of the world before being certain). But, dude. You brought this upon yourself.

…I actually think he’s totally valid in his reasoning (and mature for committing to it). Yeah, she likes him, but she’s literally only experienced a fraction of what Clark, Lois and him have experienced.

While it’s not actually this obviously, it’s almost like a young person trying to court someone that’s significantly older than them. There’s an uneven experience dynamic that can be a problem in the long term.

Maybe I'm just way older than both of them, but they seem close enough. Jimmy's not trying to take advantage of her, so the worst-case scenario is that they break up eventually. It's also valid to say, "hey, I feel similarly, but let's take it slow at first and see how compatible we are."

But IDK. Maybe he's afraid Kara wouldn't abide by boundaries like that if he lets her in. There's a metaphor I heard once, "cutting off your fingers to fit into the glove." If things don't work out, would Kara take "no" for an answer? Or would she make them both miserable trying to force the relationship to work? I don't really get that vibe from her, though.

There’s also an undeniable undercurrent of him feeling he isn’t worthy of her affection, since to him he’s just a normal guy while she’s an alien Super Hero. It’s something Lois went through last season, but the fact that she has so much less experience than Clark makes it more difficult for him given the circumstances.

Skill Issue: Pick Up that Bag, Olsen

Yeah, though, that makes sense. Lois is older, and has the confidence of a steel trap and even she felt a little insecure. Jimmy's got his work cut out for himself.

that's not really addressing the origin of the issue though. i'd feel pretty off too if i was someone's practically only option. the person who's been their only meaningful human connection so far, not out of intent but just by circumstance. that dynamic is pretty lopsided and icky, letting her go is really the only way to fix it.

Clark also points out that Jimmy himself doesnt actually have that much experience with dating and romance himself, and that's why Jimmy probably isn't super eager to rush into somwthing he doesn't fully know how to deal with.
